THE DUKES OF HAZARD was about to gunless heros who use bows and arrows and fast cars to battle crime. The show featured several traditional plot devices but proved to be fun for families and a ratings smash for several years. The shows appeal was tounge in cheek humor complete with a corrupt comedic county seat that was, when it boiled down to it, ruled good people. The series progressed until the 1980's and was a mainstay on CBS. There was at least one short lived spin off called ENOS. The Dukes itself spawned a new life in syndication and with follow up tv movies. A great clean cut family hour. One of the last shows in which the action was over the top the good guys "heroically" good and the bad guys "dastardly" bad.
